Warrior IFV with a few bits added

[Guest]

Don’t know how I missed this one Michael, had a good look through the build so far, and some great work done. Just pulled up my chair at the back now. So I don’t miss anything else.

Hello Ian, welcome and just in time for the boring parts, finishing the build and painting. There should be a further update added today.

Update,
The build part is now over, all that was required was to add the slat armour to the turret...


And there it is ready for paint and primer.
Priming has taken place - well it did after the drama - When I have finished painting and cleaning up the a/brush I have taken to leaving out the needle... So today I got everything ready to paint, turned on the air, mixed up the primer, filled the cup. pressed the button and thought "where is all this paint coming from????" Guess who forgot to put the needle back in the a/brush..... And forgot to prime the wheels.... Still there is always tomorrow.
Cheers
Mike.

Update,
All primed up and nowhere to go...

Sunday morning and base coat on...

Well when you forget that the clocks go back and you leap out of bed, grab the pup and set off for the morning walk you begin to wonder where everyone is.... and why the pup is looking at you a bit strange....
Matron - up the meds....
Mike.

Excellent example of PE work at the max.

Update, Not a lot happening at the moment just the track assembly taking place - then the priming - then the painting - and once you have seen one track being built up then I am sure your curiosity has been quenched, plus tyre paintingzzzzzzzzzz.
Cheers

One of the hidden joys of building tracked vehicles …

Update,
Tracks are built - sort off - references say 82 links per track - 82 built - on the Academy if you are using the Fril ones, then it is 87 links...

... One dead Warrior..... not really just the easiest way to add the tracks.... Decals on and the inverted 'V' sprayed on...
More later
Mike.

Update,
The construction side of the build is now complete. I still have the base and a few details to add like straps, pennant, some weathering etc. But here are a few pics with the final reveal to be added to the 'Completed' section once the base is finished.
Thanks for your time and comments, as always welcome.






Cheers
Mike
